We have a lot of dashboard/reporting requirement for the cloud cost management workspace users, shall we customize the cloud cost mgmt workspace homepage in UI builder to add those required widget/reporting? Thanks.

Hi @Lisa71

Customizing the workspace isn’t as quick or easy, as workspaces are primarily built on UI. It’s best to stick with out-of-the-box (OOTB) first; if that doesn’t work, then consider customization. However, be cautious—too much customization can lead to upgrade issues.

Before you customize:

Assess all the requirements.
Can you consolidate the requirements?
Can you standardize the requirements?

Only after that, proceed with the customization.

Thank you. What kind of customization will lead upgrade issues? If we add a widget/report to the "spend analysis" dashboard in the cloud cost management workspace, will this bring issues during upgrade? Thanks.
